    The Consolation Prize?

    Posted Monday, June 09, 2008 3:33 PM | By Emily Bazelon
    Anne, maybe you're right that the next female candidate will have to prove she's less divisive, but I'd reject that test as tedious and unfair. Why should Ms. Whoever Comes Next have to answer for Hillary's sins (such as they are)? In the short term, yes, the legacy of Clinton '08 looks like a lot of splintering. But I hold out hope that's not going to last long, and we'll see women voters harness this energy for more substantive gains than the now-touted V.P. nomination. I just don't get why that's a consolation prize worth cherishing. (More on that here.)
